Rest and Test

Inspiration

We got inspiration from studies and podcast episodes about effective study methods. We wanted to incorporate spaced repetition, repeated testing, and interleaving into something useful for students.

What it does

Users can import or manually create study sets where they can view flashcards or test themselves (multiple choice, short answer, or matching). At random times throughout the day, users will get notifications prompting them to answer a question that was randomly selected from their study sets. User also have the option to star a set, giving it priority and making it more likely for a question from that set to appear.

How we built it

We used Figma to create the user interface.

Challenges we ran into

Our limited knowledge in programming prevented us from implementing most of the features we came up with during brainstorming. Additionally, we didn't have enough time to figure out how to connect the HTML features from our Figma pages to the Python programs we wrote using Javascript.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to cohesively combine several topics during brainstorming to create one app idea.

What we learned

How to use Figma, how to use GitHub, how to collaborate with new people. In an attempt to incorporate spaced repetition, we experimented with dictionaries in Python for the first time.
